Former defender dishes the dirt on his old team mates

NICKNAME – Cass

POSITION – Defender
AGE – 34
TEAM YOU SUPPORT – Dundee United & Borussia Dortmund
PREVIOUS CLUBS – Luncarty, Vale of Earn, Bankfoot Athletic

BEST PLAYER PLAYED WITH? AND WHY? – Tony Holt. Technically the best player I have played with, could turn the game in a minute. Loyal player too.

THE JOKER AT THE CLUB? AND WHY? – Mark Mitchell. No one was ever safe around him from your footwear to photos you did not know existed getting brought up from years ago. Absolute clown.

MOST INTELLIGENT AT CLUB? AND WHY? – Davie Fyffe at Luncarty. Only player I knew who went to Uni. Dressed like it and I am sure he swallowed a thesaurus.

LEAST INTELLIGENT? AND WHY? – Billy Carle. Once asked when the score whilst it was 1-1.

LONGEST IN THE SHOWER? – Steven Watt. Wow

MOST INJURED PLAYER? – David Carr (Chucky) played about 5 games in 2 years

FUNNIEST FOOTBALLING STORY? – We all have private stories between players but a general one was whilst at Luncarty. The Chairman Scott Smith had harassed me on the bus all the way up to Aberdeen when we were playing Banks O'Dee in the cup. He continued to do so during the warm up and at the start of the game as he had drawn my name in the hat to be first scorer. Those who know me know I barely score. So 15 minutes in I found the bottom corner and just to run back and see his face was worth it. He won £120 so I was his best pal for the rest of the trip

DIRTIEST PLAYER I HAVE PLAYED WITH? AND WHY? – Arran Dawson at Vale of Earn. He was horrible in a 50/50 challenge.

3 CELEBS YOU WOULD INVITE FOR DINNER AND WHY? – Jurgen Klopp, Margot Robbie,= and Alan Brazil. Craic, beauty and bevvy!!!

CRAZIEST GAFFER YOU HAVE PLAYED UNDER? EXPLAIN – Murray McDowell, mad man. Tea Cup thrower but would do anything to win. Could make you feel like you were the best player on the planet.

TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOU THAT NOBODY ELSE KNOWS? – My name is actually pronounced Neil.
